Managing Your Code and Scripts

Preservation of software with your research data is an important part of open research and will be a future requirement by the Tri-agencies for Data Deposit.

In this introductory session, you will learn:

• How to apply research data management practices and FAIR data principles to software
• Best practices that will help you prepare for depositing the custom code and analysis scripts you use to generate and process your research data
• How these practices can help you now in developing and maintaining this work

Details:

• Thursday, February 8
• Time: 1:30-3:00 p.m.

Register here.

This virtual workshop will be recorded. The recording will be posted to the Sherman Centre’s Online Learning Catalogue.

Preliminary Work/Prerequisites:

This workshop is suited for researchers and research teams, including graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, with basic experience in working with data and/or custom code and analysis scripts.

Facilitator Bio:

This workshop is co-hosted by two groups: the Research Software Development Team and Research Data Management Services.

The Research Software Development (RSD) team is a component team of the Digital Research Commons Pilot (DRCP). This group supports software development by researchers and research groups by developing public resources, hosting training sessions, and providing consultations.

Research Data Management is a team of RDM Specialists Danica Evering and Isaac Pratt. RDM Services support the active organization and maintenance of data throughout its lifecycle–from collection to interpretation, dissemination, long-term preservation, and reuse. The application of RDM best practices improves research efficiency, enables verification of research results, and fosters innovative and interdisciplinary research through data reuse.
